Do you code? Got some work experience or hobby projects to show off? Join our Smartly Squad in 2018 to build software for the largest online advertisers globally, add to your technical skill set, and maximize your learning! Application is now open.

Our 50+ developers have an incredibly large impact on our growth and success.

You will have the opportunity to affect all aspects of our product: designing new product features, improving existing ones, and quickly resolving ad-hoc issues.

Who we’re looking for

Smartly Squad is for ambitious talents who are eager to develop themselves and take their skills to the next level. We’re looking for people who are currently finishing up their studies or have graduated recently, and who’d be able to continue as a full-time or part-time employee after the internship.

The following jobs are open for Smartly Squaders with coding backgrounds:

An ideal Smartly Squader is resourceful and loves to get hands-on to make things happen. They enjoy solving tricky technical problems and finding out how things work under the hood. The technologies and platforms we work with evolve incredibly fast as we're in an growing industry, which means the ability to learn quickly is super important for all Smartlies.

We appreciate analytical and technical experience. Previous experience in React, Node.js, Ruby on Rails, AngularJS, Scala, PHP, MongoDB or PostgreSQL is definitely a plus. Fluent spoken and written English is a must, since English is the main language of the company.
